I think you need a browser-enabled phone (like a Blackberry or iPhone) to do this.

Pretty interesting.

CNN article where i heard about it:

Oh and yes, you have to actually install and agree to terms, so it's not like they are just tracking you :P

Another good article on it which explains it better:

Yeah pretty soon they will build this into the Google mobile app for the Iphone. Here's a good site I use:

Oh yeah, I now want google not only to track me on my computer, but also on my phone.

I really am not sure if people realize to what extent google is invading our privacy, its scary! It's not government who at least can say its for homeland security/patriot act its a privately owned business tracking us.

I never realized how much google was tracking my computer until I found that it had my history of websites that I visited for the past 2 years even after thoroughly deleting my history. If you have windows desktop uninstall it, and don't bother installing this on your phone. My 2 cents.

Not only does google know everything about you, they also know where you are. This is some dangerous stuff.

I know what you are saying, but it is entirely voluntary.

:iagree: Seems like some people are overreacting... :nod:

SWEET!! this is the perfect stalking tool for me. thumbs up;)

Oh I remember seeing this on Google News, aren't there data charges for those without data plan?

OMG wow. Altho my location was waaay off, it got me in the right city at least.

they have something like that on the Android G1 too

Cool software, but I'm not sure I would use it or even ask my family and friends to either.

"Honey I'm at Danny's house."

"No you're not, remember you have google stalker on your phone..."

Doh
